nice! I got the stem, and I am running it now. It's great. I will get the front wheel soon and make a new profile picture. Do you know how to post a video on my profile? I have seen people with it but I can only down load one, I can't post the damn thing(there is no option to do so). Way to go Vital!
I need to get that shadow stem in white. And it has to be the front load stem. Now that I can finally cash my checks, nobody has any white ones left. Please leave me a comment containing all of the online bmx stores you and your boys know of, because I have a feeling they might be all gone. please, thank you... L8
Well I'm keeping my pedals for now so I got time to think about it. I got to make some moves man! I'm going to get the gears fixed on my mountain bike so I can sell it. I am still getting the new wheel though. I got to move in less than two months so I'm gonna hold on to most of this cash for now. All I need is a new frame, a new fork, a new brake (caliper), some damn pedals and I will have two complete bikes! That way I can sell this old Wildman with all the original parts along with the mountain bike(Specialized). I'm trying to do it sooner than later so I can ride my new set up this summer... You know! After I move I'm gonna get a job too, so its gonna happen. I'm stoked! Hey! erase all my prior comments! L8
Hey I don't know why my last comment was posted so many times, you should erase them. Are you gonna get a new wheel? I'm getting the Shadow Attack front load stem(white) for 45 dollars U.S.instead of the pedals. And a 3/8 Bulimia hub(black), 36 white Primo spokes with black nipples laced to a chrome Sun RHYNOLITE rim. The wheel is going to be laced, trued, and stress tested for free by Dans Comp for 105 dollars U.S. with free shipping. I don't know what the conversion is though??? L8
I just got the money for my new front wheel today. Monday I'm ordering a custom one from Dans Comp: Sun City Light 36 chrome rim with Primo Forged black spokes(36). All laced to a Demolition Bulimia front hub, I might even get the Shadow Nostra pedals in white. This new custom wheel is actually a little cheaper than the stock Demolition front wheel. Should be a bit lighter too. The frame will have to wait. I'm gonna get the Bibi in black, and a new light weight fork in black too. Can't wait. Check my profile in a couple of weeks, I should have the new wheel, and pedals on. L8

the frame is gonna take a while but I'm gonna get a new front wheel and some hollow bolts for my stem in the next 2 months or so. I will keep you posted even if it isn't until next summer. LOL L8
thanks man, nah im not sponno'd yet lol, and it probably wont happen. yeh it probably is b'rat its a rad park, it was my 1st time on there ova the holz
pick a frame with removable gyro tabs and a angled cable stop. also make it a frame with SEATSTAY mounted brakes. They are so fucking easy to dial and work on. Plus you can run a straight cable or get the mod to run dual cables, or run with out brakes or whatever. 11/30 gearing or lower. If you go kinda big or bail and or are ruff on you're bike don't get a bike with butted or double butted top tube,(seat posts and MAYBE the top tube can be single butted.) also check for down tube gussets cuz its the weakest point in any frame. It should last forever. Other than that I would say the complete should have a great crank (no pinch bolts on crank arms). and last but not least a solid ass rear cassette. The rest is up to you really. Oh yeah watch out for machined forks that have holes in the dropouts, same goes for rear dropouts. Also if you are pretty thin you prolly don't need a big as american BB. Go with a spanish one. Keep me posted... L8.
Sup bro? You won't be able to trim much weight with out more new parts, but that ride looks pretty lite already. Your dropouts are already small, but your bars do look wide as hell. I know you like them but I was only talking about taking about 3/8's - 1/4 of an inch off each side. Just wanted to let you know...L8
your bars will still be tall but if you likem the way they are leave them alone. Hair spray my friend goes on wet allowing you to remove your grips. But it drys sticky locking your grips back in place. just don't use a lot, and don't burn your fingers with the hair dryer LOL The small allen wrench is to pry at the grips at each end allowing you to spray the hair spray in there.

I have the same bike and you can't put a smaller size sprocket than what is already there because the chain won't fit over the brake mounts.its gay.
